Benefits of technology

[0004] In some embodiments, the invention includes a system having more than one image sensor; and a processor to reference a group of pixels captured by a first of the image sensors at a first resolution to a segment of a model of a view, and to reference a group of pixels captured by a second of image sensors at a second resolution to the segment of the model of the view, and to display a first part of the segment of the view in a first scale, where such display of the first part of the segment has a first set of resolutions, and to display a second part of the segment of the view in a second scale, where the display of the second part of the segment has a second set of resolutions.

Problems solved by technology

When using a PTZ camera, a user may lose some or part of the wide view as the camera focuses on a small area of the view.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 722,429 filed on Oct. 3, 2005, and entitled Apparatus and Method for Hybrid Resolution Video Frames, incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates generally to the capture of images, and particularly to the processing and viewing of streams of images that includes different pixel resolutions densities at different areas of interest of a view. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Combining or stitching multiple video streams to create a wide view of an area of interest is used in fields such as for example security surveillance or industrial control. Pan, tilt zoom (PTZ) cameras that may zoom in on a particular area of interest of a view are also used. When using a PTZ camera, a user may lose some or part of the wide view as the camera focuses on a small area of the view. Furthermore, a first segm...
